Contexte

Conflict at both intergroup and interpersonal levels is a dominant theme of the human condition in the twenty-first century. Numerous violent international conflicts persist around the world. At the domestic level, tensions and conflicts also extend along divisions based on religion, race, ethnicity, social class, culture, and language. Moreover given the increasing strain on the world's environment, conflict over limited resources such as water, is likely to increase. Against this backdrop, conflict resolution emerges as a critical tool to address the causes of conflicts and build new and lasting relationships between hostile groups.

But(s) de l'évènement

The goal of this course is to provide an analysis of conflict and the methods to resolve it, with an emphasis on traditional and alternatives approaches to address the causes of conflicts and build new and lasting relationships between hostile groups.

Define the concept of conflict resolution;

Méthodologie

In each module, the interactive learning components are introducing the key points and provide background information. Activities such as research, reflection and case studies allow participants to apply the knowledge acquired through the lessons. Discussions are organized for participants in order to facilitate collective knowledge construction and sharing of experiences.

Facilitators guide participants through this process, delivering and conveying information, clarifying doubts and supporting participants through different activities.
